as we dissect that report today, david will be discussing what their strategy is regarding dell. >> no comment on that on the conference call, by the way. >> listen, this is all -- dell is all still moving forward. you know, as our reporter said earlier this week, in the not too distant future. a few things to quickly point out on dell that may have missed in my reporting from a week or so ago. dell has been going through a process for quite some time to enhance shareholder value. it started last summer when they engaged with banks that start to explore, should we split the company, is there a possibility there. are there any strategics that would be out there that might be interested. then they ended up with this plan to pursue the leverage buyout. so when we do see an announcement as we still likely are to with this leverage buyout, and others say there's a conflicted process that we don't like, that perhaps we'll start with the price, they're going to present a lot of what they've already done. the special committee will have already presented what they've already considered,

the break. thank you, sir. buy dell or not to buy dell. dell does go private i think it will be at roughly almost 15. they broke the news this afternoon that they would like to do a deal at 14 or a15. there is only so much cash flow to go around to continue if the deal was done. he will not do a deal that could hurt the long-term fortunes of his company. because there isn't enough earnings for them to keep it up here. even though it is deal that has been the company. those fortunes have been spent to design systems that are loved by governments. and that is terrible. plus we know that the enter price that has been ruled by the crowd. it is funny when the stock was only at 11 i thought what an opportunity. but as it got closer to 13. if you owned it you need to sell it if it goes closer to 14 tomorrow. let's talk about if the stock goes back to 10. at that time remember half of dell's business is global. it isn't including the possibility that we develop a tax regimen in this country. but that has to happen and it doesn't include the notion that you and i haven't thought of. a wealthy playe
